I also cannot pilot a heli one. For sure will crash lol!

Practice makes perfect

I set my DPI to high when in heli, it turns faster

im no pro in jet, but still 'ok-ok'
use 3rd person to fly and when u want to shoot someone using minigun then u switch to 1st person. i prefer 3rd person all the way and i can shoot my minigun accurately in 3rd person, all thanks to war thunder. also when do turning, throttle down (S) midway and throttle up again (W) (don't use boost) to get the best turn radius.

now for chopper, it is very easy.
By now u should already know the basics how to control.
pro-tip: strafe...strafe like u never strafe before.
If u're an atk chopper pilot,there are 3 indicators on the HUD; crosshair, rocket indicator (that look like an oversized I), nose indicator.
crosshair is fixed...ignore that.
rocket indicator, it tells where ur rocket will hit, BUT if ure strafe-shooting keep this indicator ahead ur target.
and lastly, nose indicator (important for ur gunner)...its a 2-horizontal line that indicates there ur chopper nose is aiming at, VERY important if your gunner have TV missile coz this is there he will be looking at when he switch to the missile...a lot of pilot i flew with always say im a noob for not using the tv missile, but how to shoot if u're not giving me the best angle to launch it !? Keep this in mind (this goes to same to ALL of u guys out there)

another pro-tip: learn to do quick turn/stop...this can save ur ass when going behind cover.
here's a vid i made on how to do that

*yea i know its from BF3, but the mechanics is still the same*

yeah.... normally i set around 1-2k depends on situation...

Infantry low sensi + low DPI

Thanks for the awesome explanation / video...

nice explanation. Yet some people still negate from flying due to OP AA hahaha expecially on very open maps like golmud

Scout chopper is still survivable due to it's fast maneuvering BUT as for Attack chopper, i wish u good luck

coz nobody care to take them out....the gunner hv tv missile but pilot decide to go head on...how to win

Yup. That's the problem. But the real problem also lies on the AH . Seriously the cool down time for flare/ecm jammer takes forever .. And the gunner splash damage has been nerfed down.

It seems Dice favours infantry more than vehicles..

When i fly AH, i want to feel like badass killing machine but in game scenario it's my ass that kena whacked heavily by IGLA/Stinger/Straw watever name they called it

... and the two mechanic seats.

I tried 3 mechanic in little bird the other day.. not as crazy as indirect fire support pilot + 2 mechanic but damn fun and OP

shoot also no need first person one. 3rd person also can dy. if you know the trick

for helicopter i use 3200dpi with about 50% mouse sensitivity in BF4.

easier to fly, easier to crash as well if you're not careful

he said hes a noob with flying jets....dats y i advise to use 1st person when shooting and 3rd person for flying around...u cant simply tell them (newbies) to use 3rd person to shoot when theres to aiming reticule.

battlelog down again == ... why everytime i wanna play ... its down... FML

Perks don't carry over to transport right?

Actually AH is harder to fly now due to their slow speed. AA is not that threatening if not for the active radar missile and the 25mm cannon. Most AA are idiots who camp at far corners of the map, doesn't really bother me that much. They don't really go near any cap points enough to be a real threat.

Equip the stealth coating and flare, this setup will give you ample of time to get away from those IGLA and stingers. ECM is useless cause once they've fired their stinger or ARM, ECM doesn't seem to negate their lock on effectively. ECM is only good against IGLA and passive radar missile which requires manual lock and not fire and forget.

At least the heli don't flip like a clown after getting hit by the active radar missile now

Some perks do.. Indirect Fire final upgrade allows whoever that sits in the transport with you to replenish ammo.. so you imagine this:

1 Indirect Fire support as little bird pilot
2 Mechanic engineers as little bird repairers + equip stinger ...
EDIT: 1 russell in passenger seat talking on VOIP ...

unlimited stinger shots + fast repair little bird = invincible

got aiming reticule, use a whiteboard marker place a dot on your screen

Oh.. i forgot about the reload thing lol. Actually I prefer to have 2 mechanics with Javelin or RPG/SMAW rather than stinger missiles

That's what I did in Counter Strike Online, I used semi sniper without zoom, damn OP.
